Three stars from the Love & Hip Hop franchise were charged with “obstruction of law enforcement officers” after a physical altercation at an Atlanta bar.
Among those arrested was Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta’s Erica Mena, who faces the most serious charge for allegedly attacking a police officer during the Aug. 25 incident.
Fellow LHHATL star Addie “Bambi” Richardson and Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood‘s Rodney Shaw (a.k.a. Zellswag) were also arrested following the dispute at Lucca Lounge in Atlanta, WSB-TV reported. A fourth person arrested was identified as Kareem Cadet, who is a friend of the reality stars.
In a press release, the Atlanta Police Department said they received a call for an “active dispute” inside the bar at 11:40 p.m.
When officers arrived, they found a group of patrons involved in a “physical altercation” with security guards, according to police.

Police said security guards asked the group to leave, but they refused and a brawl broke out.
Responding officers tried to de-escalate the situation. That’s when Atlanta PD said the patrons became “physically aggressive” with one of the officers,” the news release said.
The bar’s security guards helped officers escort the “unruly patrons” from the business. It was unclear what caused the fight.
The group was taken into custody and transported to the Fulton County Jail.
Mena was charged with three misdemeanor battery counts and one felony count of willful obstruction of law enforcement officers by use of threats or violence, jail records show.
Shaw was charged with simple battery and one count of willful obstruction of law enforcement officers, which are both misdemeanors.
Richardson was charged with one misdemeanor count of willful obstruction of law enforcement officers.
